An ongoing Brampton double-homicide investigation that began with a deadly shooting in April has resulted in the arrests of five people, including three adults and two youths.<\/p>\n

Peel Regional Police announced Monday that investigators with the Homicide Bureau have arrested and charged the five suspects in connection with the deaths of two people.<\/p>\n

The investigation began on April 3, when officers were called to a shooting at approximately 10:21 p.m. on the grounds of a school near Rutherford Road and Kennedy Road.<\/p>\n

Police found an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. A short distance away, near Weybridge Trail, officers found a male youth who had also been shot.<\/p>\n

Despite lifesaving efforts, both victims died.<\/p>\n

Following an extensive investigation, police say five people were arrested and charged between May and July.<\/p>\n

Among those arrested is Jahnoi Bell, 21, of Brampton, who is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old Brampton youth is also charged with two counts of first-degree murder.<\/p>\n

A second 17-year-old Brampton youth faces two counts of first-degree murder, along with charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a loaded restricted firearm, knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm, careless storage of a firearm, possession of a prohibited device, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number.<\/p>\n

The two youths cannot be identified because of protections under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.<\/p>\n

Police have also charged Mcaium Aarons, 25, of Toronto, with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and breach of a probation order.<\/p>\n

Jayden Christmah, 23, of Orangeville, is charged with possession of a firearm for the purpose of trafficking.<\/p>\n

All five suspects were held in custody pending bail hearings before the Ontario Court of Justice.<\/p>\n

As part of the investigation, police recovered two firearms. One was found at the homicide scene, while the other was seized following the execution of a search warrant at a Brampton residence.<\/p>\n

Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said the arrests represent an important development in the lengthy investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo lives were cut short by gun violence, leaving families and a community to grieve,\u201d Duraiappah said. \u201cThis investigation has been relentless, and these arrests are an important step toward holding those responsible accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police say investigators will continue to pursue information as the case moves through the courts.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the Peel Regional Police Homicide Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 3205.<\/p>\n
